FLUX Pumps for the Surface technology
It may not be immediately apparent, but modern surfaces are the new enablers in business and technology. They are not only important in terms of design and appearance, but also provide protection, refinement, and cleanliness. Modern surface technology perfects the cleaning of products and protects them against corrosion.
Whether pickling, chrome, anodising or nickel baths: FLUX has the ideal metering and filling solution for every fluid and an entire range of services for your quality products – which are filled according to requirements.

Dosing milk of lime from a 1000 litre IBC container into the storage tank of a waste water tank
Task:
Abrasive 45% milk of lime is to be pumped from IBC containers into the storage tank of a waste water tank. It is used to neutralise waste water produced during surface treatment.
Solution:
Peristaltic pump PERIPOWER FHP15
Housing made of polyurethane
Hose material: EPDM
Three-phase motor with worm gear
Application description:
The 45% milk of lime used to neutralise wastewater is highly abrasive. Pumping with a centrifugal pump results in high wear, which leads to increased maintenance requirements and the associated costs.
The PERIPOWER FHP15 offers a significantly better pumping solution here, as it works without rotating components and seals, which would quickly wear out due to the abrasive milk of lime. Instead, pumping is achieved solely through the compression and expansion of the hose, making the pump exceptionally durable and low-maintenance.
Another advantage is the ease of handling: as only the hose comes into contact with the medium, it can be replaced quickly and easily if necessary. The compact design also makes it easy to move the pump to a new IBC container as soon as it is empty. This keeps the pumping process flexible and efficient, while minimising downtimes and reducing operating costs.

Pumping caustic soda from canisters into degreasing baths
Task:
To re-sharpen a degreasing bath in an electroplating shop, 45% caustic soda solution is to be pumped from a 60 litre canister into a degreasing bath.
Solution:
Mobile pump set COMBIFLUX
with FP 314-25/19-700 made of PP and battery motor FBM-B 3100
Application description:
In an electroplating shop, 45% caustic soda is used to clean surfaces in the degreasing bath. The mobile COMBIFLUX pump set is the ideal solution for this, as it has been specially developed for the safe and efficient handling of chemical media. The PP pump material ensures high resistance to caustic soda, while the FBM-B 3100 battery motor enables convenient and flexible operation.
Previously, a cable-connected pump was used for pumping, which always required an available power socket. This posed a challenge in the working environment with outgassing media and also increased the risk of accidents due to unsecured cables. The battery operation of the COMBIFLUX solves these problems and allows independent use directly at the canister.
An additional advantage: the battery motor can be flexibly positioned on different pump pipes so that several pumping processes can be carried out with just one motor. This increases efficiency and reduces operating costs at the same time.
